And now for the spoilers…

News Posts from Hong Kong reveals the details of Li Bingbing's character for Transformers 4. However, without solid proof, take this with a grain of salt: Local sources are reporting that Li Bingbing character will be a "freak female scientist". According to the reports, she is manufacturing Transformers and is known as "the mother of Transformers". In one side, she’s sexy and intelligent and on the other she's a cold and tough person. Very much like a cross between King Kong and a Barbie doll. Initially, rumors spread of an appearance by Circuit Breaker. Is this it? We don't know. Only time can tell.

Well, this confirms that the humans will try to build their own transformers! Wonder if they're successful?

Primus is now a female AND has taken on human form; holy fuck I think I just got interested.

What the hell does this even mean? It's like a random jumble of adjectives.

Anyone wanna bet she plays Tucci's love interest?

It's Engrish. I'm really conflicted about how the newly recognized Chinese market is affecting western blockbusters filmmaking. Some cultural nuances will undoubtedly be lost on many of the people watching, on both sides of the ocean.

I already see a continuity error. Since the stunt double is a guy he has to wear a long sleeve jacket, but Li Bingbing is wearing a short sleeve jacket.

And I'm getting the feeling the leaked script was at least partly true.

Watch her be the Circuit Breaker role. I could see her as that, but I don't want anyone to merge with TF tech.

Middleman

That photo of Li Bing Bing's stunt double looks too funny. They could have at least added some extra hair patches to his hairline...

No, its Chinglish!! Engrish is Japanese English!

I think no matter where your from, we'll all understand a series of big explosions!

That jumble of adjectives is how china does Hyperbole. Seems well suited to Bayformers!

So is bingbing gonna be a sorta self made pretender then?

I agree that a lot including this seems very similar to the leaked script. I know a lot seems different as well which IMO is a good thing. One thing I hope is true is that the some of the characters they used are the same and I also hope Dino and the wreckers return

tonyformer

I just think it funny that they could not have gotten a good looking female stunt double for Li Bingbing? They had to get a man? Come on guys, you could have done way better than this lol

QLRformer

So Li Bingbing is kind of a Dinobot Mummy?

Well, only MBay could do that and make it cool.

tonyformer

She's goin to be our Cercuit breaker character. She may or may not have the Cercuit breaker power and may or may not have TFs tech in her but she is the main scientist that is on the project of reviving or creating TFs or the Dinobots. And she's more or less taken it to heart that she is the "Mother". Maybe she sees that her research is going to be used for bad so she gets Tucci and her tech out before that happens. This is what I'm getting from this.

They used female actors for closeups and male stunt drivers in matching dress for the chase sequence.

Okay....Cool.

Exodus

Can't wait to see her in this!

Shark

So much is happening! o.o (Or at least possibly happening lol)

ElectricPrada09

Always got an evil vibe from her. Still think she might be a Pretender.

figsdad

Please no...

tonyformer

If she is our circuit breaker character or some form of, that does not mean she has to be evil.

You're exactly right

toaprime

I feel like that out of all of the characters in the script, most of them are in the movie. OP, Bee, Brawn as Hound, Dinobots, Wreckers, Dino/Mirage, and Circuit Breaker. I wonder if Perceptor is the Corvette...

Anyway, we seriously need some Con news as we know many Bots will be in it.

Autovolt 127

Transformers finally has its own Dragon Lady. Oh Yeah.

GabrielPrime

I'm still trying to verify additional info I received, regarding the content of the bag they are carrying all the time (something about a "pure energy source", related to OP's weaponry…).
In addition, the bag has the "CEMETERY WIND" insignia, which is the codename for The United States Army Intelligence Support Activity (USAISA), previously known as the Field Operations Group (FOG).

The bag is called "The seed satchel"

You know, if the Pagani really is a Con, it could be Rumble from the early draft.

OP combined with someone/something in the past two movies and Bay likes to top himself each movie. Does this have something to do with a sort-of upgrade for OP?

Starscreamer95

Grimlock tells Optimus to take his parts, pulls out his spark, Prime turns in TEE-REX, N0t TrUCK.

toaprime

Not going to lie, but part of me wishes Grimlock would form a sort-of exo-suit for OP, but Grimlock does not die. Imagine a fight where OP wears a T-Rex!

Ranger565

Am I crazy to remember that the shard is still in Megan fox safe from ROTF?

You know, to be honest I can see that happening. Why? Because Hasbro would then use the Dino power armor as the gimmic for the toy line. Buy OP and Grim to combine them. Buy Bee and Swoop to combine them. Now you actually have a Bee that can fly lol. Have Sludge the Apatasourous combine with Hound lmao, the great tree huger!!

its not, that's the shard they used to revive Jetfire lol

Red Goblin

Let me get this straight. Li is the good scientist who is the head of human created tfs program. Bad guys try to claim her research to use on their own gain, so she tries to hide the key element, the power source/seed satchel from them.

So pretty much this 'Seed' is like a Spark?

There must be a some kind of spark generator in the bag.

If true, then that's like the 3rd story arc theorized for this movie. I have a feeling, an oh so faint feeling, that if there are more than 2 story arcs in this movie, the end result will be claimed "a mess", (just like ROTF). Don't get me wrong, the action will probably be Bay's best to date, but I just have a feeling critics will eat this movie alive.

But since the movie has "by Michael Bay" stamped on it anyway, there's nothing to stop them..

While there is truth that the words 'A Film by Michael Bay' are considered carte blanche to rip the movie a new one, his writers have demonstrated a wildly varying skill at tying plot threads together neatly: the relationship bullshit in aforementioned RotF was badly written and it's integration into the overall story was just god damned painful and it's prominence was obnoxious.
